There's a pretty wide range for normal HCG levels and can vary greatly between women and even between pregnancies. The most important thing (and it sounds like you know this) is that your HCG levels increase appropriately.

At around 5 weeks I was 47. My doctor was concerned, said that's more typical of 4 weeks (I was literally 5w0d based on LMP) and sent me for a follow-up 4 days later and it was 346 (almost triple every 2 days). My first OB visit is 12/7 and I'll be around 8 weeks, so I dont KNOW that everything's OK but I do feel a lot better after getting my 2nd test. I was equally nervous because NO ONE on here was talking about having levels that low.

Thank you for sharing your experience! That makes me feel a little better. Yea most people I have seen some who shared their levels were well into the hundreds and some thousands. It’s so hard not to compare ourselves to others even knowing that each and every one of us is unique
